Before she became an Oscar winner and seven-time Grammy winner, Eilish was just a little girl in the same baggy clothes she was known for wearing at the start of her career.

The "Happier Than Ever" singer admitted the Golden Globes "scare the living hell" out of her when she picked up her second win for best original song in 2024. But she's certainly matured since the days when a unicorn-topped cake made her upset.

On her 21st birthday in December 2022, Eilish uploaded a tearful (albeit adorable) throwback of herself sitting behind the colorfully frosted dessert and looking less than pleased.

Eilish's preteen dreams came true when her favorite artist, Justin Bieber, featured on a remix of her 2019 single "Bad Guy." She proved her devotion to Bieber by sharing a photo of herself in her childhood bedroom, which was covered in posters of the former teen idol.

When Justin Bieber dropped his album Changes in February 2020, Eilish posted another picture from her super-fan days, before the two stars formed a personal friendship.

She posted the throwback of herself wearing a Bieber tank top alongside more photos of her poster-clad bedroom walls. The post — which she captioned "stream changes" to support his album — also included a clip of Bieber tearfully talking about his relationship with Eilish.

“I just want to protect her,” he said in an interview with Beats 1’s Zane Lowe. “I don’t want her to lose it. I don’t want her to go through anything I went through. I don’t wish that upon anybody. If she ever needs me I’m just a call away.”
